Hearing+Impaired+Book

=Hearing Impaired Book =

Our book for a hearing impaired student is for a student who is learning to sign. The objective of the book is for the hearing impaired student to learn to sign from one to ten. The book has been modified from the original book by adding pictures of the signs for each of the numbers. The sign is placed directly next to the corresponding numeral.

 A CD of the song is included with this book. While it may seem strange to include an audio CD for a student with hearing loss, it can not be assumed that the student has profound hearing loss. A diagnosis of a hearing impairment can indicate varying degrees of hearing loss. Some students will be able to hear some of the song, while others may only be able to feel the vibrations of the music.

 The book also comes with a DVD to practice signing the numbers from one to ten. Each number is shown for four seconds each, then three seconds, then two, and then one second each. With regular practice, the student will discover that it is easier and easier to sign each number, regardless of the duration of each sign shown in the DVD.

 While this book is created for students with a hearing impairment, it can also be used for students who do not have a hearing impairment, but want to learn sign language. In the music classroom, sign language is frequently used while singing by students who are able to hear.
